Secret Wars was a 12 part
series from Marvel Comics that introduced the character of The Beyonder to the
Marvel Universe. The Beyonder, assembles a planet from chunks of other planets
and dubs it "Battleworld". He then kidnaps several heroes and
villains from Earth, and transplants them on Battleworld to fight for The
Beyonder's amusement. During this storyline, Spiderman discovers his black suit
within alien technology that he finds on Battleworld. This suit would go on to
not only redefine Spiderman, but become one of his worst enemies as the villain
Venom!
The Secret Wars event
crossed over several Marvel Comics titles from May of 1984 to April of 1985.
The series was tied into the immensely popular Secret Wars action figure
collection. Each figure included their signature lenticular shield that was
unique to the series. The line spawned 2 series of figures, as well as vehicles
and playsets.
Digitally scanned from
the original Mattel Secret Wars figures and reproduced in 12” scale, no detail
has been overlooked. Roto and injection molded and made of durable plastics,
this fully-articulated jumbo figure includes a faithfully re-produced
lenticular shield.
To further capture the
vintage feel, Gentle Giant has packaged this figure with a Secret Wars-inspired
backer card featuring original photos and artwork. Designed with the collector
in mind, the figure comes in a re-sealable plastic outer clam shell to help
protect and display this limited edition figure.
The Gentle Giant Marvel Secret Wars Black Costume Spider-Man Jumbo Vintage figure is now available for pre-order.
